Go see Slumdog Millionaire if you haven't already. One of my favorites this year. That and Seven Pounds.

My car? Its running! I just need to swap in an OMP. Mine is leaking. I'm pretty much done with the mods unless I run across a dirt cheap set of vert sway bars.

Thanks man, I appreciate that. I'm really proud of how far they've come.

Heres the pic of them from RB-Motoring, before I bought them (notice how bad the back ones are. The white one above is one of those.)
$650


Heres a better picture of the BEST wheel I had, the week I got them:


You can't really tell but the paint is chipping on the center caps (the other ones didn't even have paint anymore)



And so, polished rims, powdercoated centers, hand painted center caps, hand polished hardware (all 160 bolts, one-by-one)

I still need to replicate the "Super Advan" stickers that go on the rims of the wheels.



Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to afford tires, so they may be up for sale when I'm done =\

I'm thinking about selling these, they are sitting in my garage.

Anyone know what this plug is? I got a new turbo 2 harness and there is no plug like this on it. It comes out where the airflow plug is.

Thanks Rob. Its a great deal you're offering me on it, but more than I'm looking to spend. Thank you very much though.

Ah you're kidding Matt. Can you start saving up for some tires and not get rid of the wheels for the time being?

Brace yourself... 17x8 +38 / 17x9 +45! Just one more reason to sell them.

I was gonna say MAF but it doesn't look that familiar.

Yeah idk... maybe I can sell them for enough and get another pair, that fits.

Thats the resistor pack for the the injectors. There should be a female plug to fit on there, if not than you have an 88 harness.
Thanks Robert
